Zip has Zipped Up Her Portion of the Blanket!

Woo Hoo! Zip was FAST! And her knitting has added another touch of beauty to our blanket.

Whoever gets this blanket is a LUCKY person. It's GORGEOUS!


Zip used a vintage Phildar yarn she bought in a yarn shop about 20 years ago. It's a good yarn, isn't it? She used the stitch pattern from the textured cuff section of Knitty's "Knucks".

Blanket Connects Sisters Across the US!

I've just GOT to make a post about this, because it is SO COOL.

Zip is our current knitter in California, and she is MY SISTER!
I live in North Carolina, so we are on opposite ends of the nation.

Isn't it cool that our blanket has travelled all the way across the continent, and will have knitting from both of us sisters?

I think it's AMAZING!

STILL Basking in the California Sun!

Our blanket is having such a WONDERFUL time in California, that it doesn't want to leave!

KathyinCali just finished her section, and has mailed the blanket on to Zip!
(photos to come!)

Oddball Blanket #1 - Basking in the California Sun

Jan in CA added her knitting, and ended with a flourish by taking an EXCELLENT photo of our blanket!

Time for some Lovin' from our California Oddball Knitters!

Jan in CA received our Oddball Blanket at her doorstep today, and was THRILLED with the beauty of the blanket, as well as all the GOODIES that SabrinaJL sent to her!

New Mexico Knitting is GORGEOUS!

SabrinaJL in New Mexico added such a beautiful textured portion to our Oddball Blanket.




Now, the blanket will be heading to California to visit with 5 different knitters from the Knitting Help Forum!

Our Blanket Quietly Traveled to New Mexico!

Like a thief in the night, our Oddball Blanket travelled unseen through the city streets, arriving at its destination in New Mexico without ANY fanfare at all!

I just got a message from SabrinaJL that she has already FINISHED knitting her section!

Hopefully, we'll get a photo. But if not, we'll get one out of Jan in CA for SURE! She LOVES to take photos. :)
